Anthropic investors expect an October IPO above $2T, a record, though the company has not set a valuation target itself

by | Aug 16, 2026 | Latest E-commerce News & Updates

Anthropic is planning to go public in October at a valuation of roughly $2T, which would top SpaceX and make it the largest stock offering ever, according to the Financial Times. Investors told the FT they expect the company’s annual revenue run rate to reach $100B to $120B by the end of the year. Neither the timing nor the number is settled, since the offering is still being discussed and the company hasn’t formally fixed a valuation. Anthropic filed its confidential prospectus with the SEC on June 1 at $965B, so the figure now being floated is about double what it was ten weeks ago.
